The Last of Us season 2 coincided perfectly with my video on writing women and allowed me to voice some thoughts that have been building for years. I hope it’s valuable as advice on how to write women in addition to being a fun takedown of overcredited male writers.

The voice actors for Jane and Irma are very funny and their chemistry is great.
